Veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin and Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins will make their second visit to Congress on Thursday to discuss the relationship between police and minority communities, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Boldin, Jenkins, and Lions safety Glover Quin previously spoke to members of Congress in November, addressing the same issue.

Jenkins has been among the most outspoken social critics during the past season, joining Colin Kaepernick by protesting the national anthem with a raised fist and also recently hinting that the quarterback's political stance is the reason why he remains unsigned.

Boldin and Jenkins are expected to meet with Democrats John Conyers and Elijah Cummings.
